wpr;459888My wife and I were on the way home while listening to the game. When the Sant's kicker missed the FG we both screamed like 12 yo girls.

I hated MLF going for it on 4th and 2 in the first quarter. I didn't think the offense had showed any rhythm at that point. While the annoucers loved the flea flicker call, I didn't. Too many moving parts. Finally the 2 point attempt was very gutsy. I was surprised they would go for it then.

What I hated about it was our own guys keep slipping as much if not more than the bad guys.

Also, statistically speaking, the odds of you failing back to back two point conversions is far less than failing one. So, basically, if you try and fail, you're probability of converting the second one is pretty high.

I thought it was funny how the commentator J. Wilma didn't like the Packers going for it on 4th down there, but then says he likes the call.
The call was pretty damn good. The execution was horrible. And by good I mean we had a guy wide open. I would have rather a call (as you stated) with less moving parts.

Mucky Tundra;459903Yeah it was definitely risky move but MLF was comfortable winning or losing this game on attacking and being aggressive vs just playing the odds. Sends a message to the young guys: go down swinging. And not to go full nerdmann but I think MLF wanted to avoid OT at that point with a Thursday game looming.

This isn't going full "anyone", it's just logical. It's why they go light on short weeks for practice because they want the guys to recover enough to be healthy for the next game.
